July 4th Layered Drinks

Is there something you know how to do but you are surprised to find out that others have not yet been enlightened? Or maybe a friend does something in front of you that totally blows your mind? For example, I just found out that some people use a fork do skewer an Oreo and dip it in milk. What? I can now dunk and read with ease. Others continually grow green onions on their windowsill (completely awesome). Layered drink how-to is just one of the pieces of useless knowledge that fills my head.

You can layer drinks in any way you like- the secret is in the sugar content. This works well for red, white, and blue but you can really do this with any color combination. The other secret to success with layered drinks is plenty of ice. After you add your bottom layer fill the glass to the top with ice and pour the second layer slowly and directly on top of an ice cube.

These would be a really fun and easy addition to any picnic you are attending or hosting for the Fourth of July holiday this weekend. I had a few friends ask if they could add alcohol and I don’t see why not as long as you note the sugar content in your layers. Since I have the kidlets running around we kept these alcohol-free.

Notes:

I used Starbucks Iced Coffee bottles in these photos. I’m also including an Amazon link to some pretty glass milk bottles and similar straws. Some people have had trouble finding the Sobe Pina Colada. I found it at my local grocery store. You could also try a convenience store or gas station.

Love it! I made something like this last 4th of July, but Mine was Red Blue and White haha, because I couldn't find a whiteish drink to go in the middle. Love the SoBe drink idea tho! Cuteness!

I seriously love this. I've never thought to look into how to do this so thanks for taking the work out of that for me! My girls would get the biggest kick out of this.

I have always wanted to know how to do that–it totally makes sense once you explained about the sugar content. Thank you! And totally aside, how are you liking CommentLuv? I've seen it around and thought about switching . . .
My recent post Frosted Mason Jars

Great idea! It’s hard to say- I moved them around from inside, then to outside, and back inside while making them and photographing them. They stayed relatively separated (but I wasn’t doing a ton of moving). More than moving I’d say the ice melting would be a factor. If it were me I’d mix one up and take it on a test run to the grocery store or the park and see how it holds up. Thanks for stopping by!

I love it. Just sent your link to my boss. We work at The White Rabbit. A small cute historical building in Odenton,MD. It was the first bank in our small beautiful town in 1917. There is actually a small book that was written about Odenton and the Railroads that went and still go through here. Anywho we are looking for a special drink to have available for 4th of July week for our patrons. Which 85% are train commuters that work in our nations capital. Thank you for sharing this recipe! I truly hope you and yours have a safe and very enjoyable holiday.
